Yep. Custom wrapped OEM wheel. I got it from SWEIDIT.

Today I messed with the position of my steering wheel hub, because it felt like the wheel might have been off center. As it turns out, my momo wheel was centered.

The pull to the left I've been experiencing must either be alignment, or road angle.

I suggest you leave any future steering wheel adjustments to the folks at an alignment shop -

After my last alignment the steering wheel was't quite straight, I wasn't sure if that was because I installed the wheel on a bad alignment, though.

I guess I'll have them fix it next time around.

I can't wait to drive it tomorrow.

The front bumper and the 3 plastic pieces you have to remove below are a PITA. I'm going to make a single piece out of aluminum come winter. The rest of the car is a dream to work on.

It must feel noticeably faster

I just got back from a drive. I replaced the rotors today with a Stop Tech set. I switched brake pads and tires too getting ready for a track day. It definitely feels lighter on it's feet and more peppy. I had the battery neg off so the ECU is still doing it's thing.

I'll be taking it to the track Wednesday. A lot of the weight came off the rear so...We'll see.

EDIT: I want to add something here. If anyone does this and expects to be winning straight line races, don't. Like I said, it is peppier but with all positives comes negatives. I don't have an much of an interior in the car, it's loud and probably have thrown off the weight distribution a bit.

It's a "feels mod" It feels peppier, lighter on it's feet and more raw. Most of my mods have to do with how they would feel to me. I've been known to change my mind lol I may put it all back next month

EDIT 2: Just came back from a trip. Did some rural roads and, yep, it's quicker. Much quicker above 4500RPM.

I tried that for a while, it was a blast to drive for short trips!

After a couple 200 mile trips my ears got pretty sick of it though, and I put the interior/sound deadening back in.

Yes, It will take me some time to thoughtfully answer the questions.

Cool. I didn't know if it went through because I guessed at your name's spelling

OOOOO you're tempting me now. I've had a couple pieces wrapped by them and they turned out great

I can see that. Most of my trips are short except for the odd one. Can't turn the stereo up. Don't have one!

I thought you were joking about the Jiggle Scale but I googled it anyway. I found this "bible"

I have downloaded it for future reference.

Thanks a bunch.
